The
Members:
Others: Dick Leaf, Town Building Commissioner
Mark
Workman, Plan Commission Vice-President, opened the meeting. The minutes for January were accepted.
Fees Added to Building Code -
Dick presented a
schedule of fees that he would like to see added/updated to the current fee
structure in the building code. The fees
were all accepted as per the attached schedule.
The only change was that the commission felt that the Public Sidewalk
Fee ought to be at no cost. However,
there would still need to be a permit.
This was because they wanted to make sure that the sidewalk was built to
specifications but no fee because they were making improvements for the public.
Fence Permit – Dick presented a draft of a Fence
Permit. This was also accepted with the
change that the fence would not exceed eight (8) feet instead of the six (6)
feet.
Accessory Structures – Dick presented revisions on
accessory structures and the commission accepted the changes. They also agreed to limit accessory buildings
to two (one detached garage and one accessory building) and no accessory
building in the front yard. The property
owner has the availability to go to the BZA to ask for a variance if needed.
Time frame for new house
construction – Currently,
the permit is for 1 ½ years and can be renewed.
The committee requested the renewal be for a term of 6 months and at
that time everything has to be completed (an occupancy permit issued). Craig was going to speak to Jim Walmer about
what the process would be after the extension was provided and things still
were not done.
The
meeting was adjourned.
